Although Tang Gaozu was not very good, ironically, he decided to fight Sui, but he was cheated by the honey trap.
At the beginning, Yang Di indulged in debauchery in Jiangdu, and the world was surging, and the Sui Dynasty country was already teetering. Li Yuanguan stayed in Taiyuan, and his son Li Shimin was ambitious. He devoted himself to being a disciple and made many heroes. Jinyang made Liu Wenjing frequent contacts with the palace wardens Pei Ji and Li Shimin. Liu Wenjing valued Li Shimin very much, and advised him to take advantage of the chaos in the world to enter the customs, so as to achieve the imperial industry. Li Shimin had this idea, but he was afraid that Tang Gaozu would not follow, so Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin discussed a plan.
The next day, Li Shimin told the palace supervisor Pei Ji about the plot, and Pei Ji also planned something. Another day, Pei Ji gave a banquet in Jin Yanggong to invite Tang Gaozu. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of Sui Dynasty, built a Daxing City in the east of Chang 'an, and Yang Di later built Luoyang, the eastern capital. He built palaces in both places. Jin Yanggong is one of the palaces, and Pei Ji is the official in charge of the palace.
Tang Gaozu went to the palace for dinner, and countless wines and delicacies made him dizzy. Suddenly, two beautiful women came in outside the door. They drank to Tang Gaozu together, and soon Tang Gaozu was as drunk as a fiddler. Two beautiful women helped Tang Gaozu sleep, and Tang Gaozu slept with two beautiful women in a daze. When he woke up, he smelled a strange smell, and he was very surprised. Then he looked at the two beautiful women beside him in the quilt. Tang Gaozu asked the names and identities of two beautiful women who claimed to be palace officials. Li Yuan was frightened out of his wits. He stood up trembling in his clothes. The two beauties quickly comforted him and said, "When the Lord loses his virtue, everything is divided into chaos. Without the protection of the public, my concubine will inevitably be defiled. Therefore, Pei Ji asked me to entrust myself to you, hoping to save my life in troubled times. "
Tang Gaozu where dare to speak? He hurried out of the palace and met Pei Ji. Li Yuan grabbed Pei Ji and asked, "Why did you hurt me? ! "Pei Ji smiled and told Li Shimin about the transfer to Li Yuan. He said: "Now there are thieves in the world, and the battlefield is outside the city gate. Even if you miss, you will inevitably die. If the righteous teacher can avoid disaster and win the country. " Tang Gaozu returned home and hesitated for a few days. He gritted his teeth and decided to oppose Sui. Pei Ji also offered 500 ladies-in-waiting, 9 million rice hugs, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors and 400,000 pieces of armor to help. Pei Ji offered 500 ladies-in-waiting, probably as a military prostitute.
After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, after several years of hard fighting, Li Yuan unified the whole country, created the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for 290 years, and the ancient history of China entered the most glorious era.
When the ancients described the Chinese dynasty, there was a proverb: Confucian classics, Jin, Tang turtles, Song snot, clean and sloppy. The so-called "turtle of the Tang Dynasty" means that there are so many things in the court of the Tang Dynasty that many emperors inexplicably put on green hats. But the wife of the founding emperor Li Yuan, Empress Dou, is just the opposite. She is a rare good wife.
Tang Gaozu's wife, Dou Shi, is from Shiping, Jingzhao. Her father is Dou Yi, the general manager of Dingzhou and SHEN WOO in Sui Dynasty, and her mother is princess royal, the sister of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Dynasty. Dou was born with his hair hanging down his neck, and at the age of three, his waterfall-like black hair grew flush with his body. She likes reading biographies such as "Women's Commandments" and "Lienv" and has the ability to never forget.
Emperor Wu of Zhou especially liked this niece and let her live in the palace. At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou married a Turkic woman as the queen, but he hated this Turkic woman. Young Dou Shi quietly said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Now the four directions are restless, and the power of the Turks is still very strong. I hope my uncle will restrain his feelings, comfort the Turkish queen and think about his life. As long as the Turks help, Jiangnan and Kanto can't suffer. " Emperor Wu of Zhou was very surprised at her words and accepted her suggestion.
When his father Dou Yi heard this, he said to his wife princess royal, "Our daughter is so talented and beautiful that we can't marry ordinary people. We should find her a good husband. " So when her daughter grew up and got married, Dou Yi drew two peacocks on the screen at the door, gave each suitor two arrows to shoot them, and let Dou hide in the curtain to secretly see if there was a man he liked.
Dozens of suitors failed to shoot the peacock, and then Li Yuan came. He drew his bow and shot the peacock in one eye. Dou E was very happy, and Dou Shi, who was hiding behind him, took a fancy to Tang Gaozu, a charming man. So they formed a good marriage.
After the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Dou's family has been obsessed with it, as if he had lost his biological father. Later, Emperor Wendi forced the emperor to meditate on weekends in the north. When Dou heard the news, she burst into tears. She threw herself on the bed and said, "I hate that I am not a person who can save my uncle from danger!" " Dou Yi and princess royal quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is genocide!"
Dou served Empress Yuan Zhen and was famous for his filial piety. Yuan Zhen has been ill and often to the point of death. Due to the strict temperament of Empress Dowager Cixi, all the concubines in the harem left in a hurry when they visited. Only Dou Shi served day and night, hardly taking off his clothes, shoes and socks for a month at a time.
According to The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yang Di jokingly called Li Yuan "grandma" because of his wrinkles on his face. Ethan was very unhappy when he came back. Dou comforted him and said, "This is a good sign. You are sealed in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang is' Tang', and Grandma is the Lord of Tang. " Tang Gaozu was very happy.
Dou is also good at calligraphy. She imitated Li Yuan's notes, and no one could tell the truth from the falsehood. Her article is easy to obey the rules and regulations. There was a famine at that time, and there were many rumors among the people, such as "peaches and plums are the best in the world" and "Yang Wu Li Xing". Emperor Yang Di was also very skeptical. Later, Shimi of the Wagang Uprising was appointed as the left servant. His forehead is pointed, his eyes are black and white, and he cares. Emperor Yang Di dismissed him. There is also J Gong Li Hun, who is a Yi because of his surname Li. In the middle of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was a prefect and kept several good horses, which he cherished very much. The Dou family often advised Li Yuan: "Now the emperor is very suspicious. He always likes eagles and horses. You know, these things should be kept in the palace, not at home. Otherwise, someone will talk about him behind his back, and he will be exhausted. I hope you will think about it. " Tang Gaozu hesitated and soon lost his job because of the horse.
Soon after, Dou died at the age of 45. After thinking about it, Tang gaozu thought of a way to protect himself, and found some eagle dogs to give to the emperor and worshipped him as a general. He said to his sons in tears, "I have listened to your mother for a long time."
Dou gave birth to four men and one woman, the eldest son Li, the second son, the third son Li Xuanba and the fourth son Li Yuanji. Because she died early, she was buried in Shouanling at first, and after Li Yuan's death, she was buried in the position of Empress Taimu.
